Spider Lily Blood Sword of the Crimson Moon Sect.

Zhou Yan is a senior disciple of the Chi Yue Zong, and those who have seen him fight understand immediately why they call him the Spider Lily Blood Sword. His fire manifests in the shapes of spider lily flowers or leaves — never both at once, for the folktale says the flower and leaf of the spider lily shall never meet.

He speaks little. But unlike the righteous cultivators who preach honour and mercy, Zhōu Yàn offers no justification for his blade. He believes only in power — that the weak are vulnerable to the strong, and that to survive, one must do whatever it takes. He does not celebrate his kills. He does not mourn them. He simply strikes with apathy and certainty, as naturally as a spider lily blooms red.
